Chefchaouen is a fantastic place to visit in Morocco. It’s unlike anywhere else in the country, and there’s no need to see any specific sights – just wandering around and taking it all in is sufficient. In addition, the city has a unique atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else, making it a truly memorable experience.
Let’s learn from previous visitors’ mistakes and avoid wearing blue when we visit Chefchaouen. Instead, I recommend packing pastels, whites, or anything that would create a nice contrast with the light blue. And since Chefchaouen is a very conservative Moroccan country, it’s best to pack modest clothing, even in the heat of summer.
Chefchaouen, also known as Chaouen, was established in the 1400s; however, it wasn’t till almost a century later that its walls were painted blue. This coincided with an immense influx of Jews into Morocco due to World War II. For them, this azure hue symbolized Heaven and their faithfulness toward God.
Chefchaouen is a remarkable destination with great history in the Rif mountains of Morocco. Its unique charm lies in its charming streets and architecture painted with stunning shades of blue – it has rightfully earned its name as one of The Most Vibrant Cities On Earth.
